@AngryMetalhead It's what happens when you have nuclear weapons, and overfunded military, a large population to send into that military, and lots of other wealthy Western friends.
Well, if the Europe is willing to three-to-four times expand their military budgets, and have a two million standing army (and, of course, about ten times more of R&D programs), the USA would be perfectly willing to give the Europe a chance...
Till this time, hovewer, when european defense is for 3/4 based on US support...
Meanwhile.......
Canada: *has 20% of all clean water, the world monopoly on trees, beat Finland’s sniper kill range record and has the only truth and reconciliation council on the planet* why does nobody notice me?
Louisiana: *throws a rock at King Europe with a note attached that reads, "That's what you get for not tipping 15-20% while eating here."*
(In the US, the minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. Most waiters and waitresses in New Orleans make almost all of their money off of tips. Word to the wise, if you tip less than 15-20% on your meal, you're considered an asshole)
@Polosha77, its very sad to hear how low the minimum wage is, iv also heard that 22 veterans commite suicide everyday, its like i have my doubt that most of Europe would mind to take care of them, especially if they heard of that number.
22 veterans every day is like 8.000 veterans every year its heartbreaking, tho it not my nationality its still lives, that have shielded the weak.
@Polosha77 A friend of mine is a server, and as he put it, "Man, I always try my best not to make snap judgements about anyone, but whenever a customer has any kind of European accent it immediately bums me the Hell out because I know I'm not getting tipped."
@LonghairedRedneck
Yeah, my sister (who's a server) once explained this to a European customer and he was just like "Dear God how- Is that even legal?!"
@LonghairedRedneck well I'm Danish and have been to the US several times, usually two weeks at a time, and the smallest tip I ever left was 25%.. #NotAllOfUs

How delightfully disturbing.
